It will work reasonably well. The main thing I would suggest is not to pull the side tieouts on the hammock super tight. That will reduce the bathtub shape of the hammock and make the quilt more susceptible to shifting on you. Otherwise the Jarbidge will work on just about any hammock made.
:)the jarbridge quilt rocks.i love mine had mine down to 20 degrees and was toasty:cool:neo
Love my Jarbridge! So does my brother and wife.
I like them so much I have 3 of them. I take the extras to group hangs to lend out to folks who want to try one and or forgot to bring a UQ.
I just ordered my Jarbridge (and a couple whoopie suspensions, and triangle thingies) today on the Anniversary Sale. Really looking forward to giving it a try. I have a Klymit Static V insulated pad I'm using now and will probably keep using because it's so comfortable and will go under my feet, but I'm looking forward to having an underquilt. Take your time, Paul and make it nice and warm.
I use the Jarbidge on my Hennessy and it works just fine. As Paul said, don't tie the sides out too far. Sometimes, I don't tie mine out at all, or sometimes just tie one side out, it's up to you. You will be nice and warm though, no matter which way you choose.
Same here, just ordered my 1st one. Now I will have another "short" Climashield UQ other than the Yeti that my son always claims, so I can use one also for a change!Quote:

The thing to remember is that you're not insulating the hammock your insulating the user inside the hammock. So it does not make much difference one model hammock to the next.

I use it with my safari just fine.
Just placed my order. Upgraded the insulation and decided to go with the green. Thanks to everyone for their comments/opinions!

1. Does it make any difference in the order that you tighten the adjustable cords (ends versus suspension)?
2. Does it make any difference if you tighten the head end versus foot end first?
3. Last, if you decide to install the triangle thingies, do you just cut the end shock cord and make 4 individual shock cords to attach to the end loops and triangle thingie loops?
Thanx
Hey Hillbilly,
#1 No
#2 No
and #3 No.
It does not make any difference at all which you tighten up when. The main thing you want to work for is to get the lines...all of them...just to the point of being snug..not tight snug. You need to still have stretch in the quilt suspension and you want to not over tighten the ends to the point of the quilt getting wrinkles as those can allow cool air to funnel in-between the quilt and hammock.
More often than not if someone is cool with a KAQ its that one or the other or both lines are to tight. Most people would figure that if they are cold they need to tighten everything up when really most of the time if you loosen things slightly the quilt will fit better and be warmer.
I am going to be working on a quick how to set up video for the Jarbidge next week while on the Idaho Hang. It will probably be a few weeks before I have it edited but it's on the horizon.
On the triangles: They attach to the quilt at the for corners of the quilt and you just ignore the standard suspension all together...I would not cut it but if you dig the triangles then you can remove the stock suspension by just undoing the knots. Normally its one or the other suspension but not both.
Once you get the quilt dialed it and it fits your hammock and you then you just leave everything set and next time just clip it on. Your not re-doing the set up and adjustment each time you hang.
Paul, thanks for the insight. Video sounds great. Quilt looks awesome. You obviously put a lot of care and detail in your product!
